FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove
parts and sort by size.

TONGUE
The tongue is shipped separate of the frame. Locate
the appropriate tongue and install by sliding it in the
front of the tongue channel.
Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the
tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4” hex bolt in the
front cross hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut.

Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue.
Place the wire harness and the brake line through the
hole provided in the tongue cover plate. See Detail A in
Diagram A.

Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the
same 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt that secures the back on
the tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure
with 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.

SPRINGS

Position the axles so they are properly aligned with
the trailer. Position the brake axle so that the disc
brake calipers are on the back side of the axle. The
brake axle must always be mounted as the rear axle
to give you the best braking possible (See Diagram
D. There is no right and left to the axle without
brakes. It can be mounted either way.

Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads
welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that
the hook end of the spring must be to the rear of the
trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top center of the
spring as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts
down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and
axle as shown.

Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends
of the two U-bolts just placed. Secure in place with
1/2” lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not
tighten securely until the complete unit is in position
on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring.

AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the
rear of the spring bracket and secure with a 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Repeat in other
spring bracket. Position the rear axle under the
frame, then hook the loop of the springs around the
bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is
positioned too low when trying to hook, the loops will
not hook around the bushings.

Raise the front of the springs up so they align with
the rear hole in the axle boogie just installed. Secure
in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.

Install another spring bracket bushing in the front
hole on the rock arm assemblies. Secure with a
9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.

Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the
front axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker
arm assembly. Then swing the front of the spring up
and attach the front mounting hole in the spring
bracket with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock
nut.

Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
